FAKUMA 2017 | SHOW PREVIEW


Lanxess claims the new polyamides provide an alternative to heat-stabilised specialty thermoplas- tics such as fully and semi-aromatic PA and PPS. Possible applications include air intake modules with an integrated intercooler or air ducts near the turbocharger. Another key area for Lanxess at Fakuma is future mobility: electric vehicles and self-driving vehicles. Flame-retardant polyamides and polyesters have major potential in this area, it says. One example is Pocan AF4130, a blend of PBT and ASA. The material is particularly suitable for precision compo- nents within vehicle battery systems because it has low warpage and shrinkage and is highly flame-retardant. The material


obtained 5VA classification (1.5mm) in the UL 94 flammability test. It also has very good chemical resistance, for example to an electrolyte widely used in lithium-ion batteries (DIN EN 22088-3). Tepex, the group’s continuous-fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composites range, will be demonstrat- ed in connection with lightweight automotive design. Lanxess will be displaying serially manufactured underfloor protection panelling, such as a centre tunnel cover and engine underride protection, that have high mechanical toughness. A lightweight door module support for a compact-class vehicle and a structurally reinforced front end with integrated active grille shutters (AGS) will also be on show. � www.lanxess.com


High performance compounds being shown by Lehmann & Voss include its Luvocom CXR PA compounds that can be cross-linked by irradiation. Products from this line are characterised by an elevated temperature resistance and continuous service temperature. The addition of reinforcement leads to higher material strength under the influ- ence of heat and a longer lifespan of components. Luvocom 1114 is based on the high-tempera-
